The Doors of Blake







The path’s marriage joined at the doorway

Where the past arrives carrying heavy

Quilted bags

While the future holds reservation

Standing stark naked.

 

The enormous wooden door hangs

On three brass hinges that are unlike.

Yet, serve the same motion -

Close to open; open to close

An infinite conundrum.

 

The delicate frame surrounds the door

But cannot contain it.

Nor refrain any shadow that may appear

Whether wearing white silks of promise

Or the black shrouds of regret.
